Today Catch My Breath

you opened
the box
of what
we’ve all
been through
looking in
I saw
the tears
and pain
of you

the kind
of things
we just
keep sorting
then again
put away
but you
should know
that life
is not
a rock
it’s clay

your dreams
so beautiful
they still
can fly
for air
is not
locked in
a box
breath still
holds you
in arms
of sky

beautifully done.. as usual the tight conruction and form lend themselves to the subject matter and float down the page for the readers eye to follow.

Yep! You're doing this "Helen" poetry, better and better.

The "Float" of words you do.
